A System That Gives Second Chances

Chapter 5: Part 5. Red Signal



Andalas turned off the mower and placed the mower in a circle around him. Andalas collected the grass that had been cut to make a bed for his body. He built a bed with slightly raised sides for him to make a pillow. He also started a fire from burning dry grass. He built a place to burn the grass with rocks so that the fire would not spread everywhere.

He took the fruit he had asked Julia for earlier in the morning. He ate one fruit and a bottle of mineral water as he looked up at the night sky that was so clear today. He could even see the beautiful stars that he had never admired the beauty of since his life was only to work and continue working. Andalas smiled just looking at the star-studded sky while eating his apple.

"It turns out he's not that stupid," said a woman who always followed Julia, who was now staring at Andalas, who was enjoying his rest time.

"My choice will not be wrong," Julia said proudly. Even though she had found out, not only she but even her parents helped find out Andalas' background.

Julia's parents are very supportive if Julia is with Andalas when Julia gets very important information, so Julia's parents also help find out more about Andalas. Not only because of Andalas' background, but they did not want their daughter to marry a Demitri who liked to play with women, and if he was satisfied with using them, he just left them. If the woman was desperate to become Demitri's partner, then the next day she would die.

They couldn't refuse, but Julia was not a random woman because she was not the one who seduced Demitri first, so Demitri couldn't force Julia. But Julia was sure Demitri would find a way to get her to marry Demitri. He was a cunning man, just like his father who was also cunning. So, at least she could ask Andalas for help if Demitri was going to be sneaky.

"He's not handsome, how can you be interested in him? How did you find him?" asked Jessi, looking at Julia in surprise.

"Cheetah, you know that he often leaves the house and goes outside of the cosmic country?" asked Julia.

"Ah, that old cat," said Jessi.

"Don't insult my favorite cat!" annoyed Julia.

"It's old, he's older than you, isn't she?" asked Jessi, looking lazily at Julia.

"Yes, but don't insult my Cheetah," said Julia, annoyed.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry. So, does he help Cheetah? That's why you like him," asked Jessi.

"Yes, one of them is because of Cheetah. But more than that, I found the person I thought I wanted. Yes, even though I had to wait for him for a long time, because I had to wait for him to separate from his wife," said Julia.

"That ugly man has a wife? Gosh Julia, did you really choose a man like that just because he helped Cheetah?" asked Jessi incredulously.

"What's wrong with men who have been married? They also deserve to be loved. Besides, Andalas deserves to be loved because Andalas is a responsible man. He is willing to do anything to make his woman happy. Unfortunately, the woman he tried to make happy was ungrateful and thought Andalas was just a loser. What a damn woman!" cursed Julia when she remembered how Rose betrayed Andalas.

She was always not far from Andalas, so she knew how Andalas lived. She really wanted to take Andalas to the cosmic world, but because Andalas had a wife, Julia couldn't just take him. She must ask Rose's approval if she wants to invite Andalas. But Julia didn't want to do that, she would only monitor Andalas.

"What did his wife do to make you swear like that?" asked Jessi.

"Cheating on her and her mistress jerkily fired Andalas," said Julia, whose eyes looked angry.

"Wow, what a crazy human being. Already given a partner but still doing infidelity? Why get married if you can't commit to being faithful to your partner? It's better if you're not ready to be faithful to your partner, don't get married," said Jessi.

"Right, that's why I get so upset when I remember how that woman cheated on me," Julia was upset.

Adalas watched Julia's argument with Jessi, even he could hear Julia's conversation with Jessi. Andalas just smiled at their argument. Andalas didn't hear their conversation at first, but when the voice of the woman who had made him enter this world raised her voice because she didn't like her cat being insulted, Andalas could hear their conversation. Andalas himself does not remember the cat named Cheetah. Many abandoned cats and dogs he helped by feeding or trying to treat with the medicine he could. So he did not know which cat named Cheetah was.

However, Andalas was quite touched by the thoughts of the two women. If you don't want to get married, it's better not to get married. If you are married, at least you can commit not to have an affair. Even from the beginning, Rose already knew how his condition was, he herself had also tried to give the best for Rose, but indeed his ability was still only up to that.

Slowly Andalas closed his eyes after eating an apple and drinking half a bottle of mineral water. He had turned on the alarm on his watch, so he shouldn't be late getting up tomorrow morning.

Julia looked at Andalas, who had fallen asleep comfortably. "He can sleep just like that? That's great," Julia said as she smiled at Adalas. She left there because she also needed to rest.

Morning came, the alarm had not yet sounded, but Andalas was already awake. He stretched his body and looked surprised when his eyes opened completely. The grass that had been cut yesterday had risen again. The fruit trees that he had spread were now growing with large and dense fruit.

"What happened?" asked Andalas in surprise.

"Why is this happening? Do I have to finish it overnight so that the grass does not grow?" asked Andalas, not believing what he saw.

Indeed, there was a little different, the grass did not grow on the fruit trees that grew, nor did it grow on the road he built. Andalas opened the map, then opened his watch to see what was wrong with everything he did. Moreover, the grass is growing again, why is it like that? It turns out that this is the problem, the grass will grow overnight, if you don't want the grass to grow back, then build a road on it. The percentage of the road made by Andalas did not change at all, which means that the growth of grass did not affect the making of the road at all.

Then he simply focused on the road ahead. He also sold his 10 mowers, leaving only three. Only two tools he turned on to cut the grass, while the other he was afraid if the two pruning tools were damaged. Andalas collected a lot of stones with stone collecting tools because he had sold the cutting tools in addition to the embedded fruit trees that made all his tools to get new tools that he could not buy before, so that the stones he used to make the road were quickly collected. Not until noon, Andalas has completed his mission to build the road to the next mission site.

Andalas really built the road very quickly, compared to the road map provided. The road map provided is the fastest five days of workmanship, while Andalas is one day more he completed his mission. Breaking the record for making the fastest road, until a red signal appears in the city center in the tallest building of the Cosmic country.
